I hold a flowerpot in my hands.
The plant inside appears wilted,
as if time has not been kind to it.
Yet they always say time heals all wounds.
But this time, it did not.

I can see it clearly—it was never understood.
No one realized it disliked its place.
Perhaps it fell at a moment it least expected,
its soil scattered in all directions,
everything it had and didn't have…
Its roots exposed to the world,
feeble, tangled, battered and bruised.
Maybe it even bled as it thirsted!

The Lynch Predicament cries out to those treated unjustly,
to those who struggle to appear strong while knowing their roots are weak,
to those who hear "You can't do it!" more than anything else:
NOW IS THE TIME TO WAKE UP!
Perhaps to rise again,
one must first fall apart.
